Great Carbon Filter for RV Plumbing

Based on our own experience, this carbon filter cartridge is a great addition to any RV plumbing system. Its top-quality activated carbon material effectively removes impurities and chlorine from water, ensuring clean and safe supply for all types of usage. The installation process is hassle-free and it fits perfectly with many standard-size filters. The only downside we could think of is that it's a bit pricey compared to other similar products in the automotive market. Nonetheless, this…

Pros
  • Removes chlorine, bad taste, and odors from water effectively.
Cons
  • Shorter lifespan compared to other carbon filters, requiring more frequent replacements.

Pressure drop on filters and water softeners

I installed this filter today and immediately noticed a pressure drop of at least 20%. I have never ordered this filter and will not do so again. This is the first of several brands of filters I've ever had problems with. It should now come out and be replaced.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Some problems

Works well, great price

This filter has helped a lot with our water condition. This works well to reduce the rotten egg smell due to natural hydrogen sulfide in my well water. It usually takes 4 to 6 weeks before I can smell it again so I change it out about every month. I did a full water test and it turned out to be perfect except for that smell. I've bought similar filters locally but this Pentek seems to be better and is about $10-$15 cheaper than the big department stores.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Expensive
